  1. Are you uploading with a phone or a actual unit? Strava when tracked with a phone is not as accurate as with a Garmin head or any other head unit for that matter.
  2. I can not say how many people do or know about this as often when people go "scientific" to say they believe it doesnt apply to them cause they a recreational rider. At the end of the day everyone wants to see some form of improvement in their riding not so? A simple FTP test is a simple and great way to see how your improvements are coming on and with Strava for example its a cheap and accurate way to test without being tested.
  3. When you upload your files to Strava and have a powermeter on your bike the power data is 100% accurate on the recorded ride or race you upload. Therefore the FTP is correct. Even without a powermeter the data on Strava is pretty accurate, it is within a 5% range and that is good enough to work off for any athlete or rider wanting to use that as a training tool and "test"
  4. A bike fit is only as good as the person doing it. I had a BG fit done by 1 bike shop and my knees and back we in agony after a few KM's. I call Specialized direct and they sent me to another BG fit shop in Tableview area. Did the fit and have been brilliant and pain free since. I wouldnt say the system doesnt work for everyone, I would say that fitter didnt do a good enough job or knew what to do correctly. Steve does Ergofit so I am sure his settings on the bike were Ergfit based so there you have someone who knows the system.
  5. Well now I dont feel so bad then, I dont even do that speed down a hill never mind on the flats. Well done the 2 of you really made the deciding factor during the race with that move.
  6. I was convinced this was going to be my 1st League race finishing with the Cat 2 bunch after going over Hels with the group and seeing people get blown out the back. Confidence was high until you and your team mate put everyone in the gutter at about 50km/h and ended my dream and turned it into a nightmare with another 30 riders or so. Whatever happened there was spectacular, the group I was in to the finish were joking how quickly our race was over. How did you finish?
  7. Not many people did about Brandon in the 1st place.
  8. Shaper, why dont you stick your poephol where is belongs and out of other peoples business??
  9. I agree with you Squire, there programs are heads and shoulders above anyone else offering the same service. I've mentioned this before but the 4 coaches / owners are really good people and also really down to earth if you follow their escapades on twitter, Instagram or Strava. Dr Mike and John seem to do silly things on their bikes.
  10. Does anyone have the results from the Hill climb today? Top 10 in Cat 1 and 2??
  11. Wasnt there protests or appeals cause Charles was sent the wrong way right at the finish?
  12. Thats like saying well we think you got ahead in the work environment cause you pay your boss in Kindness as you have stated above with regards to sponsorship.....
  13. Have you maybe thought that the rest are crap and these strong riders you say that are doping are just really good and work hard? Easy to point fingers when you getting blown out the back each week. But then again, every strong rider dopes hey?
  14. Next week this time no one will care about this.
  15. 2 things in your post: 1) He has given in thats why he has "suspended himself 2) Genuine TUE you can still compete. If his is genuine then why is he not competing and having to refer to point 1 above? Then, he was turned down twice for exemption after SAIDS doing an investigation into his TUE, if all was above board would he not be given the green light? The way I read it, way to many holes here and I feel sorry for his team but at least they carrying on which is another positive to this story, just a good positive.
  16. Why give in if you know you innocent as he claims as everything was above board? Sorry not buying this at all.
  17. Dont believe a word in that PR BS spin.
  18. Does anyone know if he has been sorted with a bike? If not can someone send me contact details I am happy to help purchase a bike for him to carry on with his travels. Any details will be appreciated.
  19. 3 years is along time and it could of changed hands 4 times before landing at CC so why crucify them cause they sold your bike when at the time due to the selling process was legit. I agree with Vetseun, you had no proof then and you still dont except your word which in turn is someone elses word as well. Get over it and move on and let the guy who is riding your bike enjoy and get some excercise
